Need for the Document

A Learner Licence is an official document needed to apply for permanent driving license. The learner license certifies that the holder is learning to drive and should be accompanied with experienced driver while driving motor vehicle.

• To learn driving a motor vehicle, you must first get a Learner's License for that class of vehicle. A Learner's License legally allows you to learn driving with an experienced instructor or driver on Indian roads.
  
• If you hold a valid Learner's License, you can practise driving with a permanent Driving License holder. This will help you polish your driving skills before you take your vehicle out.
  
• Getting a Driving License is a precursor to getting a Driving License. It is easy to apply and get a permanent Driving License if you hold a valid Learner's License.
  
• Holding a Learner's License and practising on roads will help you get familiarized with road rules which will in turn help you when you are driving.

Applications for a provisional driving licence can be made from the age of 16. Valid for driving a moped or gearless motorcycle (with a capacity of up to 50 cc) from aged 16, and a car from aged 18 or older to drive any other type of vehicle. The common "All India Permit" allows the licensee to drive throughout the country. For driving commercial/transport vehicles, one should obtain endorsement (and a minimum age of 20 years, in some states) in the driving licence to effect under s.3(1) of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Until a driving test (which consists of three sections: verbal or written test (depending on the state), road sign test followed by a supervised driving examination) has been passed a driver may hold only a provisional licence and be subject to certain conditions.

The conditions attached to provisional licences of a particular category of vehicle are:

• L-plates must be conspicuously displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle.
  
• Learner drivers of a particular category and transmission type of vehicle must be accompanied by somebody who has held a full driving licence for that category and transmission type, except in the case of solo motorcycles and vehicles of certain categories designed solely for one person.
  
• Motorcycle riders must not carry any pillion passenger.
  
• Bus drivers must not carry any passenger except a person giving or receiving instruction.
  

After passing a driving test, the provisional licence may be surrendered in exchange for a full Indian licence for the relevant kind of vehicle. Full car licences allow use of mopeds, motorcycles and cars. Demo help related to application can be obtained through following link:Demo help
